Description: Dr. Gianna “Gigi” McMillan, an academic bioethicist and MRCT Center pediatrics project member, recorded in-depth interviews with three young people from India, Spain, and the US to create this 2-part video series, Time to Listen.
Part 1: Young people share their experience in clinical research, including: what it is like when a doctor or researcher talks to them as a child or adolescent; the best ways to give children and adolescents information; and what the children and adolescents want the adults to know.
Presented at: Advancing International Pediatric Clinical Research webinar series: Assent and Consent in the Field: Culture, Context, and Respect
The second conference in the series, “Time to Listen: Hearing from Young People in Clinical Research,” focused on the perspectives of young people and the adults who care for them in clinical research and product development. The two hour webinar featured a moderated panel and was hosted twice, from 9-11 am EST and 8-10 pm EST, with similar content but different speakers and panelists, to allow for wide attendance and global participation.
